Wimbledon 100P?

 

[mixtape]

Spectrum Comp Reissue!

Textreme Tour 100P in white! Hopefully Prince makes a limited edition Phantom line in white. I would love that!

 

[PBODY99]

Reminds me of the Spectrum Comp.

 

[TennisPassie]

Prince call it #Whiteout. Press release was sent out earlier today.

"Prince, an American-born leading global racquet sports brand,
launches a limited-edition Whiteout Collection, including an all-white racquet and coordinating bag. Prince Brand Ambassador and Top 20 ATP player, Lucas Pouille, will debut the Whiteout Collection in London this summer during the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world."

Babolat Pure Strike rip off

 

[jarko111]

Well, mind you there are only two players at Wimbledon that aren't juniors who will even have a Prince stencil.

 

[PBODY99]

@Moveforwardalways
When Babolat was VS & Gripsy, Prince and most brands had an all white "ceramic" frame.

 

[Tee1Up]

Babolat Pure Strike rip off

Prince had white racquets years before Babolat.

 

[Moveforwardalways]

Maybe. But Prince is a dying brand trying to score a few points by copying the Project One Seven paint job. Poor form.

They are not dying. With your reasoning every company that ever produced a black, red, yellow, etc. racquet has poor form.

 

[sportmac]

No maybe. Prince Spectrum Comp, a white racquet, was released in 1985, the same year Babolat started making racquets. Babolat decided to copy it 32 years later with the release of the Project One Seven paint job.

 

[Moveforwardalways]

I’ll be real here. No offense intended, but Prince is a 60+ crowd brand. Hello 1980s. They are bankrupt, and nobody wants their cheap rip off frames as they go quietly into the night.

Spoken like a true connoisseur of all that is inaccurate

Lmao you sure seem to know what’s going on.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Babolat Pure Strike rip off

You were born when, exactly?
Hitting a one handed backhand because that was all anybody hit back then, except Chrissie and Jimbo - sorry, you'll have to look them up on 'The Google' lol

 

[jmacdaununder2]

PSST: Do you think he actually knows Thiem doesn't really use the white one?

 

[tennisBIEST]

It seems we have a new Nostradumass!

So, white is a rip off. Well then Babolat has ripped off the Prince Spectrum Comp, Wilson Six.One 95 18x20, Lacoste's LT 12...

But it really ripped off the Wilson Six.One 95. White with a some red? Yep. Such copycats.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Actually you've got to admire the Pure Strike; apparently Babolat even made their own mold this time...

I bet someone on this thread is wishing they'd done some research first - premature ejaculation of words from mouth always comes back to haunt - especially on this forum. For the record, I'm mid thirties and bag is full of Prince racquets. Also play with college kids and they love their Warriors and Textreme Tours as well - among other Prince lines. Not sure where the whole 'Prince is for oldies' came from.

Premature articulation.

 

[PBODY99]

Lucas is using his Black & Green pj in his 1st round match

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Yeah, what up? Didn't like how the paint felt?

 

[West Coast Ace]

He looks really good for 60... (*rollseyes*)

You have great taste, sir

 

[haqq777]

Watching Pouille vs Fed at the moment. No white TT100P this year? Even his bag is black.

Because the white ones looked crap.
I wonder what the RA on his 100p is

I quite liked the white one, but aesthetics can be subjective. For the RA, here is a link to one of his racquets:

https://www.prostocktennis.com/products/lucas-pouille-personal-prince-textreme-tour-100P

From the link above, RA is 62.

 

[Tennisdude561]

No shot he's using a 100si. any idea what he is using?

 

[haqq777]

It is a 100 sq. inch racquet.

 

[TennisHound]

The specs look pretty tame. No real extra weight, or crazy numbers.

320sw unstrung in that racket plays like a beast

 

[jmacdaununder2]

But it's a 100P - not a Beast.

 

[Zoolander]

I cant believe for a second he uses a 334g racquet at almost 9pts HL strung. No way jose. Maybe 4-5 HL, but not 9.

 

[cyanide43]

Pouille uses a standard 100P customized to his specs. He's 323sw, 330g, 31.5bal unstrung. Strung amounts to ~360sw, ~355g, ~32.3bal.

[tribesmen]

How is it standard 100P 330gr? Different layup?

 

[cyanide43]

@tribesmen Like all other highly ranked pros, he has weight in the handle and under the bumper to get racquets to his specs. He starts with the 305g 100p. Here's a gallery of how it's done:

The amount of loathing and contempt you feel for Prince is incalculable.

Great stuff that is, thanks !!

So maybe an explanation for the difference between swingweight and mass, at least to me.

SW would be on the head of the racket and mass in the handle ?
